Warning: do NOT use these cooking oils!

This may actually suprise you.. Some of these oils are healthy and some are VERY unhealthy -- soybean oil, olive oil, coconut oil, corn oil, etc... Let's take a closer look. (click here)

Easy Carrot Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon (3 mL) salt
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup (250 mL) dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup (250 mL) butter, room temperature
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups (500 mL) shredded carrots
  • 3 tablespoons (45 mL) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) concentrated orange juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Butter a Bundt pan and set it aside. Sift first six ingredients into a bowl.

In a second bowl, beat brown sugar and butter until well blended. Beat in eggs, carrots, lemon juice, and orange juice concentrate.

Add sifted dry ingredients and mix until just blended. Pour batter into the Bundt pan and bake until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Easy as that!
